► Lyrics:
I've been pretty good at putting on a face
Singing songs no one will hear and tarnishing my name
Three pills, a wasted drink, and hallucinogen and
Telling friends I don't know when I'll see their face again 

But I'm 
Pretty good at faking sober and 
Pretty good at crossing over 
Those lines
Oh those lines 

It's not all black and white, no
It's not all cut and dry 
There's little bits of gray in between
And I don't know why I am the way I am 
But if you stick around a while 
Oh maybe you will see 

That I’m 
Pretty good at faking sober and 
Pretty good at crossing over 
Those lines
Oh those lines 

I'm just a dreamer 
Who's getting older 
Keep making the same mistakes
Over and over
I'm getting tired of making excuses 
While my mother keeps on praying to Jesus 
That I make a change from my wicked ways 
But I keep on doing all the same damn things 

Cause I’m 
Pretty good at faking sober and 
Pretty good at crossing over 
Those lines
Oh those lines

Crossing Lines

Bridges and Broken Trucks is a crooked country ballad brewed with sorrow and sweet tea. Stuck in Minnesota with a busted truck and burned bridges back in Florida, this tune walks the line between humor and heartbreak. With raw vocals, weeping fiddle, and a sunburst guitar that’s seen better days, it’s a roadside prayer for anyone who’s ever wanted to go home but couldn’t. Perfectly flawed, powerfully true — this one’s for the dreamers stranded in the snow.

Since making his debut with 2018’s Dying Star, Ruston Kelly has built a catalog of songs that search for transcendence in the most devastating and demanding of experiences: addiction, the strenuous work of self-evolution, the fallout of broken relationships. But in the writing of his latest album, the South Carolina-born artist found himself in unfamiliar emotional territory—a state of sustained joy and inner peace, brought on by a spiritual breakthrough and the dawning of a new love. Brimming with the grit and depth that’s always defined his output, Pale, Through the Window ultimately affirms Kelly as one of modern music’s most astute observers of the human heart and spirit.

“For most of my life I’ve felt comfortable writing about darker subject matter with a slight silver lining of hope, asking questions like ‘Why do people suffer, and how can we find communion and joy in the middle of the suffering?’” says Kelly. “Before this album I didn’t quite have the songwriting muscle required to write about joy more directly, which meant that I had to develop some new muscles and find my voice in a whole different way.”

The follow-up to The Weakness—a 2023 release that earned major acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR and led to his appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers”—Pale, Through the Window finds Kelly reuniting with his longtime collaborator Jarrad K, who also helmed production on Dying Star and 2020’s Shape & Destroy. The first body of work he’s recorded with his longtime touring band, the album centers on a singular sonic palette that often merges synth with pedal-steel guitar while fully embracing Kelly’s ardent love of classic pop-punk and emo—ultimately bringing a raw and potent energy to his soul-searching songwriting.

Over the course of Pale, Through the Window’s 13 songs, Kelly offers up everything from the somber rumination of the LP’s title track and the rueful longing of “Twisted Root” (an intimate look at his history with addiction) to the radiant open-heartedness of love songs like “Waiting to Love You” and “Wayside” (a euphoric but unvarnished portrait of love against the backdrop of a world in flames). And in sharing such an all-embracing account of his journey to acceptance and peace, he aspires to provide others with the courage to persevere through their own personal chaos. “If someone’s struggling with doubt or hopelessness because of the state of the world or their relationship with God or with themselves, I hope this record leaves them with the sense that it can be okay and that love truly is the most powerful force we have available to us,” says Kelly. “I also hope they feel at least a sliver of the freedom and joy I felt in writing these songs—even if they’re just having a good time bobbing their head to ‘Waiting to Love You,’ I want everyone to be reminded that the world can be a joyful place.
